I also bought a car from drive time, due to my credit being bad. I year after I bought the front brakes went out. A mechanic told me i had only one front bake, the other was literally in pieces. The tired didn't match, each other. They were bold and had problems with them going flat. I have a grandson who is with me and if i would of wrecked with only one front brake it could of been a nasty out come. I would like to be added to the law suite.
I have asked for them to come get my car and they keep giving me a run around.

How do i start a lawsuit i have had nonstop problems with check engine light, knocking under the hood and much more since i bought my car in 2016 - its to where im still making payments and can not drive it at all! Then to top it off i pay extra for extended warranty then they told me i didnt have it - then argued with them to say oh yes you do, so they sent me to pep boys paid $100 for them to tell me they are not specialized in transmission after i paid! theres much more - drive time holy takes advantage of people that have bad credit put bandages on cars and sell them for full price and try to say they do the full inspection before they can sell it which is BS I've had problems non-stop since I bought the car 2016 that I cannot drive at this moment and haven't been able to I'm still making payments!

I want in on thus lawsuit. I purchased a Chevrolet Equinox and it is mot safe. My transmission failed after 2 weeks of buying the car and they will nit fix it. The warranty i purchased is a scam since no garage work with them around me because they claim drive time sells crap card snd they wont get paid for the work they do because " silver rock repairs" is not a actual company.

I purchased a car from Drive Time on February 3rd since Day 1 of bringing it home problems began, I’ve had to take it back and forth to the mechanic because the car engine light remained on while I was driving and the car was shutting off on me, the car has a low voltage and have over 20 history error codes on it , this whole month I’ve had it it was always at the shop , I love the car it was my very first one I washed it and all but it’s just way too many problems and just yesterday it shut off on me 8 times ,I can’t have that happening with a kid in the backseat and I already lost my job due to no transportation and having to run back and forth to the mechanic, so please get back to me @stanleyudemgba@gmail.com

I got a car through drive time Dec 24 2021 ever since I got this car it's been a giant headache. Within the first week day 7 to be exact the back windshield exploded while I was driving. Then after that the car began to shake and it felt as if the car was.going to fall apart. So I took the car to one if the pepboys locations they suggested. Pepboys said it was the transmission. I has the car for 2 months at that time. Pepboys isn't equipped to repair the transmission so I had to take the car to a different mechanic that silverrock sent me to. I put the car in the shop march 3. They are saying that the transmission is fine but it needs a motor mount, shocks and struts. Which get this isn't covered under warranty but the car is unsafe to drive. I contacted customer relations and they said that if after they get the pictures (which this mechanic won't take so I have to take it to yet another mechanic for) and the estimate and decide they won't fix it that it's just the cost of ownership. How am i responsible for a car that should not have been sold in such [censored]ty condition. Help

I got a car from drive time in Pittsburgh. 2 weeks after having the car the transmission completely went. I lost the car for a month and a half, after getting a car back from a warranty place that they send you to I had the engine light on. Turns out the place they sent the car to didn't connect the tubes to my turbo properly, which cause an underboost. Hey damn near $400 to get that fixed, go on the road an hour later the engine light comes back on the turbo needs a new wastegate. I go to get that fixed but I can't get that fixed because now the axle seal to my transmission is leaking transmission fluid. I'm at the point where I either lose my utilities or take care of the car that I got off of this place. I have over $1,200 put in this car and I haven't even had it for 9 months. And I still have at least $800 to put in it. My mother-in-law got diagnosed with cancer a month after we got this car I'm struggling to get her to her chemo appointments. I just don't understand how it's fair to sell cars that don't work.

I need to get in on this lawsuit. DriveTime straight up lied to me regarding Bridgecrest. I was told that if I get into an accident that Bridgecrest would cover the remaining balance. My balance at the time was high and received a payment of a little over $1900.

I recently purchased a vehicle from DT and 8 days later the motor ceased up. After several days with the mechanic they determined I was sold the Elantra without motor oil in the system.

I call DT and they simply told me to use my warranty. I am going too sue them. I will never set foot back in that place

I purchased a car from Drive Time on August 27th. On September 5th the motor started idling terribly rough, the engine light started flashing and the EPC light came on. It had no power and couldn’t move. I was told that I had to have it towed to their vendor and would be reimbursed $75. The tow cost $150. I also rented a car and was told they’d reimburse $100. The vendor shouldn’t determine the issue and said that Silver Rock would have it towed to a dealer for diagnostics and repair. Two days later when I called to inquire about my car I was told it was still at the vendor. I called Silver Rock and they told me that they don’t have vehicles towed and I would have to pay to have it towed to a dealer. At this point I’m $300 deep in a rental and I’ve had all I’m going to take. I am going to hire an attorney, close my bank account that the payments are auto drafted from and find another vehicle with another dealer. This is highway robbery and should be illegal.

Same Exact thing currently happening. It’s been 7years and still don’t know what happened to the car because they lost track. Wages are being garnished for a car I had for 6 months and was paid up. They sold me for a bad car.

Mine was sold with refurbished engine and they were “unaware” i asked for a copy of the inspection report and they said i have to get a subpoena to have that information. They claim they are perfectly legal to sell cars with mechanical issues. According to the law they are supposed to give me info on any and all warranties attached to the vehicle, and failed to let me know there was a lifetime extended warranty on the motor that voided my silver rock warranty i was forced to purchase through them. I haven’t gotten anywhere with the situation yet, but i am still trying.
